Okay, here is a weekend fun challenge: Guess how much of Dianne Feinstein's campaign cash was stolen via embezzlement by her treasurer Kinde Durkee. We already know that Durkee WIPED OUT the campaign cash of Loretta Sanchez so it is hard to believe that she wouldn't have touched at least some of the $5 million of Di-Fi cash. This little BLURB from the L.A. Weekly doesn't make it look too good for Di-Fi:
Feinstein's re-election campaign had about $5 million in the bank as of June 30, according to the disclosure forms Durkee submitted.
Durkee has been accused of filing false disclosure statements to hide transfers to her own funds. Feinstein's consultants have been trying to ascertain whether Feinstein lost any money, said strategist Bill Carrick. Banks have frozen Durkee's clients' accounts, and have asked for notarized release forms before disclosing their balances.
"This is gonna be a long time figuring it out," Carrick said. "There's no way to access anything."
Your humble correspondent is going to go out on the limb and guess that Durkee embezzled $4.5 million from Wi-Fi. What is your guess?
If the total is over $3 million I am predicting that Wi-Fi would just throw her hands into the air and give up trying to run for re-election. Just too much trouble to raise that money again.
I hope all of it! The more hurt the Dims have from this the more the DNC will have to fork over that Obama won’t have.
I served on the board of directors of a national trade association in the mid 80s and within a few months I suspected something was wrong when one of our managers refused to hire a accounting firm to do a audit for us. This woman was so deceitful that she bought a quick print franchise and was printing fake bank statements and putting in her own bogus numbers. Our investigation showed she had 5 or 6 bank accounts to filter the money through. We made a mistake in not bringing in the county DAs office in Dallas Tx.
